We had a wonderful day. Olga is the best guide. Remarkably knowledgeable, friendly, astute & FUN! Her love of Barcelona is authentic & contagious.
During our recent trip to Barcelona, my wife and I joined the Barcelona Tapas Food Tour, and it quickly became one of the best experiences of our visit. A major reason for that was our fantastic guide, Teresa. Teresa immediately made us feel welcome and at ease. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Barcelona’s culinary scene and had a real passion for sharing the city’s rich food traditions. Throughout the tour, she gave us excellent recommendations on which tapas to try, explaining the unique history and flavors behind each dish. Her enthusiasm for food was contagious, and we found ourselves learning so much while enjoying some truly delicious tapas. Teresa took us to some amazing spots, each offering its own take on classic dishes. Thanks to her expert suggestions, we were able to taste a variety of flavors that we might have missed on our own. Her insights into Barcelona’s food culture added an extra layer of depth to the experience, making it even more memorable. If you're a food lover visiting Barcelona, I highly recommend taking this tour with Teresa. Her knowledge, warmth, and great recommendations made it an unforgettable experience!
I recently had the pleasure of taking a private Sagrada Familia and Hospital de Sant Pau Tour with my wife, and I can confidently say that it was one of the best tour experiences we've ever had. A huge part of what made this tour so special was our guide, Monste. From the very beginning, Monste was incredibly warm, friendly, and engaging. She immediately made us feel comfortable and excited about the day ahead. Her knowledge of both Sagrada Familia and Hospital de Sant Pau was absolutely outstanding. She shared fascinating historical details, architectural insights, and little-known facts that you wouldn’t easily find in a guidebook. What really set Monste apart was her clear passion for the subject. It was evident that she truly loves sharing the history and beauty of these landmarks, and her enthusiasm was contagious. She took the time to answer all our questions, and her patience and kindness made the experience even more enjoyable. The skip-the-line tickets were a huge bonus – we were able to bypass the long queues, which made the experience much more enjoyable and efficient. Monste’s guidance through both the Sagrada Familia and the Hospital de Sant Pau was seamless, and we were able to appreciate every detail without feeling rushed. I would highly recommend this tour, especially with Monste as your guide. Her warmth, kindness, and in-depth knowledge made the experience unforgettable. If you're planning to visit these incredible sites, make sure to book a private tour with her—you won't regret it!
